5x4 enlarger in a nova tent?

[zoikes]

Hi

I'm not sure my cunning plan to set up a darkroom is going to happen in a hurry.

Is it possible to squeeze a 5x4 enlarger into a nova darkroom tent - and have room for a 13 stone person to breathe / not fall into the dev / knock everything over?

Any suggestions for the enlarger with the smallest footprint?
I'd have to use slot processor dishes of course.

Of course if this does not work, I could limit myself to 35mm...



... and 10x8 contact prints!

maybe consider something like this on the auction site item 320726476428
I think if you have some reasonable hand skills you could make one using plastic piping and a steel bench.

Hope this is useful

There is a Jobo tent which you see occasionally on ebay. And I recall Roger Hicks displaying use of a tent in one of his books (it was his first darkroom). But I don't know if it was for 6x9 or the bigger 5x4 enlargers.
